nit: There should be a TODO to remove this code when more information is
gathered... this should be an experiment, not a workaround.

+  // LoadLibrary() sometimes AV's when called by delay load helper when we
+  // call function in ffmpeg for the first time, and we don't know why.
+  // Force delay load helper to fix import table here instead.
+  // Theoretically, there is no need to call LoadLibrary() before
+  // __HrLoadAllImportsForDll(), it will call LoadLibrary() itself, but there
+  // is no way to specify LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH when calling
+  // __HrLoadAllImportsForDll(). So we do everything in 2 steps -- first call
+  // LoadLibraryEx(..., LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH), then call
+  // __HrLoadAllImportsForDll(). Overhead is negligible compared to disk
+  // access time.
+  // Note: in case of error we are not unloading DLL because unload requires
+  //       extra resources and should not be necessary; if we ever decide to
+  //       unload by calling __FUnloadDelayLoadedDLL() please add /DELAY:UNLOAD
+  //       to the linker command line.
